Exams in a month then a quick reformat. (once per semester from now on)
BUT i have decided to put my files on a USB Key and then do a 7 pass disk wipe (thinking of getting an 80 GB drive and selling the 40).

WinXP is really slow, but after 2 hrs of use speeds up (or i slow down, not sure)
Win2K I haven't tried but I'm considering it.
Debian I have used, was quick, but XFree86 wouldn't config and therefore I couldn't see how it performed with NDISwrapper and KDE.

Computer is a
HP Pav ze4125 notebook
CDRW/DVD Combo drive
Rio Forge 256 MP3 Player
Belkin 54g PCMCIA card
FORGOTTEN BIOS ADMIN PASSWORD.
256 MB PC2100 SO-DIMM
1.6 GHz Athlon XP-M

This is my notebook an I want Linux but I'm not sure how ncpfs and libpam-ncp will work if they even will (skool = novell)
